Wow, Chris, that is a ton of information.
Going to take me a while to sift through
that and get my poor brain wrapped around it.

Thanks for the post!

No problem Lance. Just remember the post
is a work-in-progress. The real beef is still
to come!

In the mean time, just fire away if you
have any questions.

Have a good one.
